How to sing out of "Windows Live Multi Store Gateway"

Question

I'm attempting to use my Windows Live ID to sign into the TechEd web site. When I click on the log in icon I'm taken to a page that says Sign in with your Windows Live ID but it displays the button Sign Out of Windows Live . If I click
the button to sign out I get the error message --

We couldn't sign you out of these sites: Windows Live Multi Store Gateway.

I've found the simplest workaround is F12, Cache, Disable Cookies. Then you sign out. Then log in again with your (other) account. What a horrible bug. This bug means I can't trust any shared system that I sign into.

As convoluted as that is it seems to be a workaround that will allow me to log in.

Trusted sites icon, 'Sites' button, remove any web sites that use the live ID to access their sites and also *.live.com

there is a security zone setting that prevents sites in less priveleged zones from commucating with each other... generally there is no need to add sites to your trusted zone for the only reason that they require you to login.... https protocol is encrypted
regardless of whether the site is in the Trusted zone or the Internet zone.

eg. place http://www.youtube.com in your trusted sites zone (uses account.google.com to log you in) and then try to log in to you tube....

server versions of IE run in protected mode (more restrictive) and
http://www.microsoft.com is in the Trusted sites list by default.... you need to add *.live.com to the Trusted sites list to allow you to negotiate the login to technet and msdn sites...
